The following taxa are recorded for the first time: for the Palaearctic-Superioropus huronmontanus (genus and species); for Russia-Pleuronectocelaeno japonica, Trichouropoda karawaiewi, Dendrolaelaps pini, Gamasellodes tatricus, Scutacarus palustris, Tarsonemus typographi, Heterotarsonemus lindquisti, Hemisarcoptes, Saproglyphus waldorfae, Naiadacarus, Schwiebea nesbitti, Histiostoma pini, and H. ovalis. Of them, 60 species were collected by catching beetles with pheromone traps and examining them for phoretic mites. We provide information on the current distribution, host association, and biology of these mites. In this article, we also discuss the following information, which we have documented: our biological observations of mites in the beetles' galleries, abundance of phoretic mites on hosts, as well as specific sites where they occur. To facilitate morphological diagnostics, common mite species were illustrated using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), as well as light microscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
